One-take movie by Iranian director among 98 films competing at fest
1 2 Kolkata: Ninety-eight films, exploring diverse subjects, such as AI, the desire for hilsa in a patriarchal household and Kolkata's music shop, are vying for the top awards at the 8th South Asian Short Film Festival that started at Nandan on Monday. Among the entries at the festival, launched by the Federation of Film Societies of India (Eastern Region), is a single-take film—'Spasm' —by an Iranian director and an Indian producer. Directed by Sahra Asadollahi and produced by Deepankar Prakash, the short film, 'Spasm', is about what happens when a woman who has never acted in film goes for an audition that becomes a test of more than just her acting ability. "I met Sahra at a festival in Nepal in 2023. Soon, we decided to collaborate and started work on this 27-minute-long film. Sahra, an actor in Iran, shot the film completely in Tehran, while I was in India. She herself played the role of the woman in the film," said Prakash, whose 'Naanera' had won in the competition on Indian Language's Films at the Kolkata International Film Festival in 2022.

From her father's horse to her 10-month-old baby—questions are flung at her from all quarters. Finally, a situation arises where she is compelled to believe she is rejected. But the situation takes a different turn when she is told the confrontation was deliberately orchestrated to evaluate her acting skill. In recent times, the long single-take shooting approach, especially after the success of 'Adolescence', has got cine enthusiasts talking. 'Spasm' is the first one-take film in competition at the South Asian Short Film Festival. What makes this film engaging is how minimalism has been effectively used to counter the challenges of filming by a woman director in Iran. Shot inside one room with minimal production and sound design, 'Spasm' features only an animated Asadollahi seated in front of the camera. The camera angle is such that the faces of no other cast member, including the director and the producer, are visible. For many independent film-makers, who complain about shortage of funds and lack of infrastructure in this city, the film is a lesson on how big ideas, not big budgets, are important for good cinema. "Sahra is unable to come to Kolkata now because of the situation in her country. But I will be at the festival," Prakash added.

Watch: Vlogger Tries Indian Sweets For The First Time, His Reaction Says It All
A video doing the rounds on Instagram shows a foreign vlogger trying Indian sweets for the first time. While there are several food videos of people tasting Indian dishes for the first time, this one stands out for the vlogger's expressive reactions and quirky descriptions of each sweet. The vlogger (@tariqokay) recognises the name gulab jamun, which is where he begins his tasting session of the assorted Indian sweets box. After the gulab jamun, he picks up a green-coloured petha, looking visibly confused, and refers to it as a "uranium-looking nuclear reactor piece". However, he appreciates its "interesting texture". Next comes jalebi, which the vlogger amusingly calls the "Indian pretzel". After tasting it, he says, "It had the best texture by far." He then samples burfi. Although he is unfamiliar with the name, he guesses it to be a type of fudge with a caramel aroma. Calling it "fudgy pudgy", he seems thoroughly impressed and declares it "magnificent". Enjoying the flavours, he even breaks into song, saying, "That's the way, maahi ve." Finally, the vlogger tries what appears to be dhodha burfi. Jokingly, he calls it a "brownie/cake hybrid endangered species". Just one bite is enough for him to call it "the one" - scrumptious and a solid 9.5/10. "Indian desserts are dangerously good," the vlogger concludes, adding in the caption, "So this is what I've been missing out on, huh?" Watch the video here: View this post on Instagram A post shared by @tariqokay The Indian sweets taste test has won over viewers on Instagram, especially from India. One viewer described each sweet in detail, explaining the names and ingredients for the vlogger. He added, "Bro, your food reviews are so good. Make some more Indian food reviews. And if you need any suggestions, let me know. I am happy to help you." A food lover joked, "Me watching him eating in the wrong order... Giving me very bad anxiety." Another suggested, "Please try ras malai, make sure it's cold when you eat it. Also, try cham cham - make sure it has a creamy filling." Craving Indian sweets after watching this?
